About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

This runner, a student project aimed at spreading awareness of Net Neutrality, can be played in either first or third person. Their current build is freely available with a projected finished release this spring. First-person gameplay can be viewed here.

The game is about a character called Moonman who explores the vibrant regions and biomes of his nocturnal world looking for fragments of moons -- in order to build a sun. The fragments may be hidden in caves or tombs, be inside large creatures, or hoarded by hermits. The gameplay involves a mix of platforming, resource collecting, crafting, trading, combat and puzzle solving. Each new game will procedurally generate a unique planet to explore and you'll be adventuring through populated towns, dark dungeons, exotic forests, quiet caves, submerged tombs, and crumbling castles.

From the developer: "Pavel Quest is a pixel art, puzzle platformer where you cannot stop running, and you can only turn around by bumping into walls. Learning the physics system and how you can use it to overcome the challenges you encounter (spikes, fireballs, giant gaps, acid sprayers) is what Pavel Quest is all about."

This one is a free point and click adventure game. From the developer: " 'You. Me. Hell.' is not a game about saving the world. It's a game about a relationship, about how things can go wrong, and how they can be set right again."
